Trade‐offs between direct and indirect defences of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) (2008, background): “2004) to occur between chemical and mechanical defences (Steward & Keeler 1988) or between constitutive and induced defences (Mattson et al. 1988; Karban & Myers 1989; Agrawal et al. 2002).”
Field responses of predaceous arthropods to methyl salicylate: A meta-analysis and case study in cranberries (2011, background): “Its emission is induced by feeding by T. urticae (Dicke et al., 1990, 1998; Agrawal et al., 2002), aphids (Campbell et al., 1993; Staudt et al., 2010), and Colorado potato beetle (Bolter et al., 1997).”
Current trends in the evolutionary ecology of plant defence (2011, background): “Many studies have identified a heritable basis for constitutive and induced resistance traits to one herbivore (Agrawal 1999; Agrawal et al. 2002a; Havill & Raffa 1999; Underwood et al. 2000; Stevens & Lindroth 2005).”
Specificity of induced plant responses to specialist herbivores of the common milkweed Asclepias syriaca (2004, background): “Often, plant defenses are feeding or oviposition stimulants for specialists (Giamonstaris and Mithen 1995, Agrawal and Sherriffs 2001), reflecting the ecological costs of defensive chemicals (Simms 1992, Agrawal et al. 1999, Agrawal et al. 2002, Strauss et al. 2002).”
